  I have a HP desktop computer and a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop windows7 and I just bought a laptop HP Stream 13.3 windows 8. I would like to remove window 8.1 and install window7 my wife like windows 7. Thanks to Ruth and Tom

  Windows 10 is more familiar, you may have a smoother time upgrading this version rather than Windows 7, which is probably incompatible with your HP workflow.

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7, they are always available:

  It is generally safe. Applications do not normally permanently store files there. If you're worried, use disk cleanup (cleanmgr) to clear the TEMP folder. By default, disk cleanup does not remove the files/folders that have been accessed in the last 7 days.

• How can I delete Windows.old?

  I recently clicked the Refresh button on laptop settings, but now I see a windows.old folder and I want to remove it. How can I remove it? It has a folder named WINDOWS inside, and he doesn't let me delete it. I already tried cleaning disc, but no solution. So, how can I remove that file I didn't need on my Surface?

  Hello

  Disk Cleanup is the way to delete Windows.old. I don't understand why you have questions...

  Try right click on your drive C:\ COMPUTER\THIS PC from the desktop, then select Properties.

  Then click on disk cleanup... After you run it of scan, click FILE SYSTEM to the bottom of the window.

  This will launch another analysis of the SYSTEM FILES... Windows.Old should be here...

• Webroot security found a file that is a threat to my system. Serial.sys Can I delete this file and download a new serial.sys or is this a file I do not have?

  My malwarebites program keeps blocking a signal out to various websites... When I installed and ran the program of webroot it detected the file serial.sys as a threat similar to my system.  I'm assuming that this file is probably infected.  I guess my first question is whether or not, it is a necessary file?

  If it is can I delete and download a new serial.sys?

  Thank you very much

  Hi John Sw140,.

  Microsoft Windows serial should be located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers . This file serial.sys is safe and should not be considered a threat to the computer. The serial.sys process is part of Microsoft Windows and should not be removed or prevented from loading at each loading Windows. This could cause errors or Windows to stop working.

• Can I delete all partitions and leave only the BONES? What are the implications?

  Hi all!

  I just bought a HP Pavilion desktop computer and I want to create a primary partition to install Linux and another to store my files, but I can have only 4 partitions on a drive, and the HP Pavilion comes with 3 partitions already.

  So, I think that the only partition required for Windows 7 is the appointed a "BONE", right?

  I imagine that if I delete the SYSTEM and HP_RECOVERY partitions? Windows will always start after I remove them?

  (I'm more worried about this SYSTEM partition... What is it anyway?)

  Thank you!

  OK, I was able to create 2 extended partitions and do what I wanted without having to remove anything... Thanks anyway!
